    I upgraded to service pack 2 last month and just today tried to install some more games on my pc. I keep getting the message. "the installshield engine could not be launched. the RPC server is unavailable." What does this mean? and how do I get around it?

    Yes, that was the first thing I checked... but it seems to make no difference I still get the error message.

    Check that the service "DCOM Server Process Launcher" is set to automatic and is running.
